_ FROM: ‘ Andrew J. Percival Background vee

SUBJECT: Agency Connections with the Grand Bahama

Development Company

REFERENCE: A. Memo fm C/CCS for Dep. Gen. Counsel, dtd
15 Sept. 76, Same Subj., OGC 76-5044

B. Memo fm D/OS, for OGC, dtd 3 Sept. 76, Subj:
Grand Bahama Development Corp. and Wallace Groves
OGC 76-4861 .

1. Referent B forwards an analysis of possible Agency involvement
with suspected criminal elements in the Bahamas. Referent A is a commentary
on this analysis that details CCS relationships with individuais associated
with a company that is reputed to be an employer of organized crime
figures. No specific fact is presented that would legally raise the suspicion
of the commission of a violation of law, morality or ethics by the U.S.
citizen businessmen now cooperating with this Agency: Major General
William P. Fisher (USAF-Ret.); Mr. John P. Roulett CUSN-Ret.); and

~ “MrT Albert Whisnant. © . :

2. In the sensitivity of this time, it would be imprudent not to
recognize that mere proximity to unsavory elements is sufficient for some
to suggest guilt by association. This Agency recognizing that. unfortunate
fact of life has an obligation to protect the rights of those upon whom we

"have prevailed to cooperate. The only direct method immediately, apparent

is to sever our relationship with voiced gratitude for past services in the
national interest. The timing proposed by C/CCS in referent A appears
appropriate. ;

3. It should be noted that General Fisher's son is a/DDO case officer,]
That fact dictates that every effort be made-to contain the Substance of this”
and referent memoranda to the narrowest possible audience to preclude

unwarranted acrimony and suspicion until proof positive of eviljor criminal .
_ activity is certain, which event is extremely doubtful.
